Professor John Hawks, a paleoanthropologist from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, told MailOnline: “Harbin gives us a strong indication that some of them are large, with large skulls.
“But we have some good reasons to suspect that Denisovans lived across quite a wide geographic range, from Siberia into Indonesia, and they may have been in many different environmental settings.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if they are as variable in body size and shape as people living across the same range of geographies today.”
